kataluwa purvarama temple

This is also a temple which have paintings and great statues.

There are some paintings on different tittles.

1) Two people face each other across a European-style writing table, on which rests a pendulum clock with pen-holders and quill pens. The man on the right looks Chinese; he is wearing his hair in a queue. The man on the left, bare-chested and wearing a turban, might be Indian.

2) It is always interesting "To see ourselves (Europeans) as others see us." In this small vignette from a late-19th-century wall painting, a crowd of festively-dressed British men and women plays instruments that include drums, an accordion, a hurdy-gurdy, and a coiled brass horn. This probably represents a Christmas holiday celebration, since one can see what looks like hanging ornaments in the background.
